Picture your brain like a woods filled with hiking trails. The paths that get traveled down the most often are wide, clear and well packed with dirt and leaves.

They are this way because they get the most traffic.

The paths that receive little traffic are narrower and grassier.

Areas that have not been traveled at all are thick with trees, grass and brush.

It is possible to blaze new paths in your brain and cultivate new neuropathways with new behaviors.

It is possible to allow old well-worn paths that do not serve you any longer to grow over and become obsolete in time. -

It is possible to choose which thoughts you wish to cultivate into clear wide paths for daily use based on your desired results.

What is one result you want in your life right now?

When pain, grief and loss of a hoped for future is circulating through my body and threatening to paralyze me, I must make the effort to choose life, to choose life for myself.

It is effort for me choose my thoughts based on the future I desire to build for myself. To look at where I want to go, turn away from my past and leave it there, carrying only the pearls of wisdom forward with me.

Your real health navigator,

💙
